e628 Dipotassium Guanylate

Food additive with flavor enhancing role.
It is the potassium salt of guanylic acid, a natural acid, component of ribonucleic acid. For industrial use, it is obtained from yeast or from sardines, having plant or animal origin. Guanylates do not give the “umami” taste specific to glutamates, but have the ability to enhance a lot of natural flavors and tastes, thus allowing the required amount of salt to be reduced. It is used in the quantities on the recipes in all types of food, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
